The space is beautiful. The room was much smaller than anticipated. The extra costs fort things like soda were not anticipated and the path to get in and lack of parking hindered our start time. The front desk staff was nice.

SAFETY AND WELLNESS FIRST

ALX COMMUNITY’S SAFEGUARDS FOR YOUR HEALTH AND WELLNESS

Dear ALX Community Members and Guests –

 

Without you, there would be no ALX Community.  All of the space changes and policy changes included in this guide come from a place of ensuring your office environment in this ‘new normal’ is safe and comfortable.

 

We have implemented these safety and wellness guidelines based on recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), the Global Workspaces Association (GWA), collaboration with other co-working centers, and of course, you, the members.

 

Prospective members, we are offering in-person and virtual tours daily. Come see what #thenewoldtown is all about as you tour our beautiful waterfront office space.

Stay safe, stay healthy, stay 6′ apart –

MATERIALS MATTER

How long does the SARS-CoV-2 virus last on surfaces?

The lifespan of SARS-CoV-2 is shown below.  While the lifespan of other viruses will vary on these materials, but identifying surfaces within your space that provide a more hospitable environment for bacteria and viruses is the first step to ensuring wellness.

The CDC has also released new guidance that states the likelihood of transmission from touching other surfaces is much less than with contact from other people.  While it may be possible to contract COVID-19 from touching objects, the CDC reiterates that the primary mode of SARS-CoV-2 transmission is still person-to-person with close contact/droplet transmission.

 

SOCIAL DISTANCING DESIGN

Workspaces and Common Areas

Open Common Areas and Huddle Booths

Common Area seating has been reduced significantly (>50%).

Kitchen access and coffee service will continue with social distancing areas identified.

The short hallways alternate directions.

Offices 609-612 may use the second floor side entrance in both directions.

 

Huddle Booths

HIGH CONTACT SOLUTIONS

Nanoseptic Surfaces

Nanoseptic surfaces are a next-generation infection control solution in commercial real estate, travel, and hospitality management.  These adhesive surfaces can be used to cover everything from a single light switch to door handles, touchscreens, and push bars. Non-adhesive elements such as mats, bin liners, and tablet-sized mats that are portable and perfect for hotel room bathrooms. They require no special cleaning and only require replacement for aesthetic reasons.

Thes unique surfaces use a powerful oxidation reaction to continually clean themselves; not only lessening the load on our operations team, but also providing  continuous cleaning to our highest touch points. Independent testing reported in Infection Control Today has shown the Nanoseptic surfaces were immediately 57% cleaner, and 93% cleaner after only 3 minutes.

Installation

 

The following ALX Community high-touch points will have Nanoseptic Surfaces installed upon their arrival:

All door handles, including phone booths and private offices

All meeting room reservation tablets

All virtual receptionist tablets

Coffee maker, water dispenser, and Honor Bar screens

Printer touch screens

All appliance handles, knobs, and buttons.

Light switches.

Allow yourself extra time to check-in or stagger your arrival time to avoid waiting.

 

Upon arrival, guests will be asked to sign in to our Virtual Receptionist, complete a mandatory temperature check,  and e-complete a health disclosure self-certifying that they are experiencing no symptoms, and have not been exposed to anyone exhibiting symptoms.

Elevators are limited to 2 people with signage available on how to wait safely distanced.

NEW MEETING ROOM PROCEDURES

Conference Rooms

The capacity of all meeting rooms has been reduced to allow for social distancing. Capacity and recommended configuration are found in the member portal and in each room.

Before heading to your meeting space, please pick up your meeting room materials basket. This basket contains whiteboard markers, BARCO controller, and TV remote in plastic baggies, and the keyboard.  The basket also includes sanitizing spray and paper towels to wipe down the table before and after your meeting. The markers and BARCO are sanitized in between uses, and placed in new baggies.  The TV remote and the BARCO can be used from within the baggie, and the keyboard will be sanitized between meetings.

Please wipe down the meeting table and any chair arms before and after any use of a meeting space.

Please remember to allow for an additional couple of minutes before and after your meeting to allow for materials pickup and return as well a quick wipedown.

 

Phone Booths

Phone booths will remain open at this time, and nanoseptic surfaces will be installed on all door handles.

Our phone booths continuously exchange air via bottom intake fans and ceiling mounted exhaust fans. A complete air exchange happens about 60 times an hour, approximately every minute.

Alcohol disinfecting spray and tissues have been included in each phone booth to allow for a quick wipe down of hard surfaces before and after use.

Please remember to include an additional couple of minutes before and after your booth time to allow for a quick wipe down.

 

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Face Masks Available

Everyone is required to wear a mask to enter ALX Community.

Disposable masks are available at the front desk in the event you forget your mask.

Masks are to be worn in all common areas, flex desks, and dedicated desks.

Office tenants may choose their own personal policy for inside their private offices.

 

Disposable Gloves

Food Service disposable gloves will be placed in the kitchen and at each printer station. Please use them while handling equipment.

All gloves are one time use only. A glove used to work the printer controls should NOT be used anywhere else to prevent cross-contamination.

Please use gloves to handle the ice scoop in the ice makers. The scoop should be the only equipment used to get ice. At no time should a glass or cup be used to scoop ice.  This is a cross-contamination issue as well as a safety hazard.

“Sneeze Guards”

Clear polycarbonate desk dividers have been purchased and will be used at the reception desk, the flex desks, and the dedicated desks as needed.

The dividers will be placed so that they split the flex desks in half.  As a reminder, we have also removed 50% of the seats to avoid direct face-to-face contact and maintain safe distances.

 

INFECTION ACTION PLAN

Active Infection and Exposure Notification

We ask that all members notify a member of the ALX Community team as quickly as possible upon these scenarios: exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19; requiring a COVID-19 test; receiving a COVID-19 diagnosis or positive test results; exposed to someone that has tested positive.

Should we be notified that a member or visitor has tested positive for COVID-19, our Infection Action Plan will be activated.

Infection Action Plan

 

Notify building management. Conversely, if the building is notified that a tenant or employee/visitor of a tenant has tested positive, they will notify ALX management team.

Deep enhanced cleaning of ALX Community space and building common areas and restrooms. Building management also has enhanced cleaning protocols.

Other cleaning/maintenance guidelines as advised by the CDC or Health Department.  This may include, but is not limited to, HVAC system cleaning, filter changes, and fresh air exchange.

Member notification via email including member/visitor last noted in building.

 

Notices placed within ALX Community echoing email notification.

Any members that may have had close contact or exposure with/to the infected member/visitor may be personally contacted based on guidance from the Alexandria City Health Department. Members check into and our of our workspaces so we are thus able to see who else was in the building at a particular time.

 

TECHNOLOGY

Fiber Internet

Our internet connection is 1GB fiber and our space is blanketed with WiFi Access Points (WAPs).

We have tested video calls throughout the space to ensure a lag-free experience; please keep in mind that internet traffic beyond our gateway is out of our control. There may be upstream traffic issues that we are unable to control, and are the same for everyone.

As members return to the space, we will monitor the WiFi throughput and the video experience.

Anti-virus and Malware protection

We always recommend that members maintain anti-virus and malware detection software on their computers.

Follow safe computing practices; avoid clicking links from unknown senders. Be wary of phishing scams where a webpage or an email may look exactly like a known sender.

Use password protection on your video calls, use any ‘Admit’ features available to avoid strangers (and porn) crashing your calls via ‘zoom-hacking’.
